Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) bought project management consultancy services to lead delivery towards concluding the CMA Alignment to Matrix Shared Service offer. The requirement is described as a director-level service, indicating leadership of the delivery work rather than a general consultancy assignment. Delivery is in London. The procurement is titled BPSI Delivery Services and relates to the CMA’s shared-service alignment. The work falls within project management consultancy (CPV 72224000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Cadence Innova Ltd on 3 August 2025. The award value was £555,500. The contract runs from 4 August 2025 to 3 August 2027. The estimated procurement range was £279,400 to £555,500. The CMA used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 3 August 2025 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots are recorded, and the award information does not set out evaluation criteria.

For firms competing for comparable CMA work, this award shows demand for senior project leadership and delivery management on a defined shared-service alignment programme. Credible suppliers would need to demonstrate that they can direct complex organisational change and take a shared-service offer through to a conclusive delivery stage. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this scale of consultancy delivery can be undertaken by a smaller specialist business. The route was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar work should be positioned to compete through that purchasing route. The requirement is specific to the CMA’s alignment and shared-service delivery, making relevant programme leadership and experience of comparable change work more pertinent than broad, unrelated consultancy capability.
